Britax Car Seat

Finally with my third baby I broke down and bought a Britax! This is the BEST car seat I have ever owned! I have absolutely no complaints, we have been using it for over a month now. At first the right strap would twist when taking the baby out, but after using the velcro properly no more twisting. My daughter's head doesn't flop forward when she is sleeping and she is VERY excited to ride in her pink car seat. The fabric is absolutely amazing very soft and plush. Every problem and every complaint I have had with other car seats are non existent with this Britax Marathon!!

Highlight Feature

• LATCH equipped
• Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS) foam insert to increase available shoulder width room
• HUGS System is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance of injury
• Built in Lock-Offs, both forward facing and rear facing, are designed for easy reach and operation when using traditional belt routing
• Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat has a Five-Point Polyester Harness for a secure fit

Editorial Review

The Britax Marathon Convertible car seat is one of the most functional seats to ever hit the market. Slightly larger than other Britax Car Seats, the Marathon is legendary for safety and comfort. It's important to note that the shell of the car seat is a bit bulkier than others, so parents should allow for about 31 inches of seat space when used rear facing. Some of the unique features on the Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat include a five-point polyester harness with no-tangle polyester

This is the best convertible carseat ever! I have owned Eddie Bauer ones in the past and I will never buy one of them again. Although this car seat is pricey, it is well worth the money. Britax is made in the USA!!!! You can change the height of the shoulder straps without removing the entire strap system, which is a huge plus! The seat is very comfy. My four year old tried it out first and she loved it. However, she wanted to get back into her booster seat. I use this for my 1 year old. It is rear facing because she is so small. It is ENORMOUS! However, I drive a van, so there is plenty of room. It was a little confusing when putting it in backwards because there is no level guide. I had to use towels to make it sit level. It is very easy to buckle up my daughter. The belly pad prevents those ineveitable pinches when buckling the harnest. The latch was very easy to do. When I installed it forward facing for my older daughter, it went in in a breeze! The Click & Safe is very useful for rear-facing and infants. It seemed too loose on my older daughter though. The seat cover is the best quality I've ever seen. It seems easy enough to remove, although I haven't had to do that yet. The only drawback is the size, but for the safety features, I'll take enormous.

I used this seat for my 2.5 year old daughter. She was able to use it until she was 10 months old. My older two children were out of their "bucket" before 6 months because of weight and height. It is slightly heavier than others but I didn't notice at all even with a 10 month old. Someone said it is not the prettiest and that is true however, it is the best "bucket" I have used and as we are expecting another child I just ordered a new cover for it from Britax and will continue to use it for my next child. My daughter was always comfortable and slept in in as I took her to and from day care 20 miles away from home.

I own the original version, which I purchased last year (and I reviewed it here). What I loved about the original was the compact size and super safety ratings. What I did not know at the time (chaulk it up to first time parent) is your kid can max out at 40 lbs. and may not be tall enough for a booster seat.

I have 'Irish twins' so I moved my 4 month old from his Graco Snap and Go to the Roundabout (rear facing). I put my 14 month old in the Roundabout 50 forward facing - he's north of 20 pounds and more than a year. I know some people keep their kids in longer, but he seems uncomfortable with his feet against my real seat.

The installation is super simple with the latch system and trunk anchor.

I picked up a weird pattern at Target for 9 - sale price in this week's circular.

Highlight Feature
